Creative Labs Sound Blaster Play! 3 External USB Sound Adapter for Windows and Mac. Plug and Play (No Drivers Required). Upgrade to 24-Bit 96Khz Playback

This is a great usb sound card. I’m using it with an external microphone to stream online using OBS. It sounds great.

Using Koss Porta Pros on an Acer Swift 3 314-43 this sounds better than my Audio Quest Black.

Absolutely zero complaints if you need an amp for your dr 990 pros get this.

Plug it into a USB port and you have very adequate sound. Works on Linux and Windows effortlessly.

So my ASRock motherboard was defective. No back panel or front side panel sound no matter what. This fixed everything. Just plugged it in. And plugged in my mic and headset. Then I changed all my sound settings and app permissions to this in their respective drop down boxes. I have windows 11 64 bit. Now everything works great. $20 fix. Oh and the sound is way better than factory on board sound when the onboard sound did work.

Great Product.. Plug and Play

And the sound quality is, uh, really surprisingly good considering the price! I use a buffered preamp rig with my guitar so its easy to get the levels within a range that the device loves, and within that range as long as I set up to avoid clipping (an important part of using any sound card, not just one youve MacGuyvered into some weird stuff) it delivers ASIO-low latency and allows me to record my guitar simultaneously with other audio sources as configured in my DAWs per track input settings. I honestly didnt expect this to work and Im delighted. OH! Also! It has great sound quality with high impedance headphones. I love this about it. No hiss, no issues at all, and more volume than youd expect too. For a bit over $20 Im blown away, its awesome. Dont be afraid to treat it weird.

Very please just perfect plug and play no drivers no software thanks Creative

For what you pay, this works well. I bought them for my laptop, and it definitely improves the sound on it. The 2 onboard EQ are OK, but very basic. A vast improvement from onboard.

Bought this stick for a cost effective way to have good recording quality and be able to use it on multiple devices. The quality definitely beats the other USB audio devices I own that were between the $10-$17 range. To me its definitely worth the extra cost. Its still really cheap nowdays because of the Play!4 that offers better quality and a wider compatibility. Pros: - the expected SB playback and recording quality that beats cheaper competition - very attractive pricing - plug and play on all our windows (10/11) PCs chromebook and mac - virtual surround works well in games and adds a lot to titles like War Thunder Cons: - could have a line input - recording limited to 24-bit / 48khz - playback is limited to 24-bit / 96 kHz - no physical mute button or volume control (doest bother me but worth nothing the Play!4 has mute and EQ buttons)
